Re: MOT Emmisions failure Rev3 Turbo!

Id get some cataclean for it. It's about £15 put it in 10 minutes before the test and take it for a hard drive and have the tester do it as soon as you arrive. I used it in an old rev1 that had high co and it worked well, no idea how long it lasted afterwards though Its funny you mention it as Jenn...

Re: MOT Emmisions failure Rev3 Turbo!

Ill try to get a price for the cat from my local toyota stealers and see what price comes back. Hopefully not too bad as the only other one iv found is the sard cat from RHDjapan which is £500 before postage and import so that probably £700 easy! Another option is taking it to a proper exhaust plac...

Re: MOT Emmisions failure Rev3 Turbo!

Other thing to try before dismantling it is just giving it a proper italian tune up. Really give it hell, the cat needs to be really hot to work efficiently. Yea that was my plan but it pi$$ed it down on my way there and its not really the car to learn how to drift in the rain with xD Ill try to ge...

Re: MOT Emmisions failure Rev3 Turbo!

If it ends up being the cat I have one which works as far as I know. I wouldn't use them, just get the OEM ones. They're less expensive than you think.

Re: MOT Emmisions failure Rev3 Turbo!

It has a cat fitted yea. One problem though if the cat is dead i really cant find one of them! Are these gasket any good or are they as crap as the price would suggest? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Manifold-Turbo-Gasket-Set-Toyota-Celica-2-0-GT4-ST205-MR2-Turbo-Rev-3-SW20-/401355530320?fits=Model%3AMR+...

Re: MOT Emmisions failure Rev3 Turbo!

Well iv just had it re-tested with the new sensor and its exactly the same. So next job to check the manifold for leaks? Not a job im looking forward too! It may also be worth me noting that the breather from the cam cover is quite loose and leaking oil and presumably air that wouldnt cause the prob...

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Wuuring pulsing noise

Thanks terero I get the noise all the time its with any movement of the car. You cant hear it at very low speeds but as the speed builds it gets louder. The noise follows the speed of the car not the speed of the engine. It sounds like its coming from the rear. The car has always made the noise sinc...

[Mk2] [Generic] Wuuring pulsing noise

Iv got a strange sound!
It sounds like a dead wheel bearing but they all seem to be ok.
Could it be a CV joint or am i missing something?

Battery charging voltage.

After a minor wiff of rotten egg iv checked the charging voltage which came up as 14.5v at 2k RPM.
Im sure that is ok but i thought id ask just to confirm.
